On A Daily Basis...

It doesn't make it right just because some numpty is too thick to realise it's a French word.

I suppose your soap makes a 'larther'?

 

[JohnD]

Where I come from it does. Are you one of those people who think there's only one "right" way to speak?

 

[joe-90]

Yes.

 

[joe-90]

It irritates me that, 'From my PERSPECTIVE' has become 'From my PROSPECTIVE'.

You hear it all the time on the TV.

 

[JohnD]

Yes.

So a Yorkshireman talks wrong?

 

[joe-90]

Speaks incorrectly.

Pray tell me, what does your soap do?

 

[joe-90]

Lather. Just like a horse gets into a 'lather'.

 

[JohnD]

But is that pronounced the proper way, "Larther?" Or in some weird non-correct Northern way?

The reason that English has dominated as a language is that it is fluid, adaptable, isn't afraid of adopting new words from other languages and is the most descriptive language in the world (apparently). This means that English has many different branches, dialects, if you want, none of which are "right" and none of which are "wrong" apart from american which is wrong of course, but we will continue to humour them :wink

 

[JohnD]

Unfortunately Joe asserts that he doesn't subscribe to that view.

i always thought the way the british spoke sounded very eloquent and fancy. i didnt know i guess that there were so many dialects. i get kidded about saying things like yall (you all) and scootin (drivin) but if i actually pronounce the i n g.....ppl want to know what i'm upset about.
